Firecat Anti-Freeze leak

[Sno-Bandit Gary]

Just got a call from friend riding the UP. Has an anti-freeze leak on his 05 firecat. Looks like it is coming from the back of the engine. Has anyone seen this problem before? Any advice?


Thanks

Gary

cooling hose probably rubbing against the frame, chaffed through. Pull the bottom pan and look around.

Make sure it isn't the heat exchanger in front of the track.

prob the hose they rout it right on the edge of the frame and it can wear a hole eave if it has the updated plastic cover over frame like a car door ding edge or windshield edge over frame.you can swap hose without pulling motor but it is a bitch

They called and found it to be the heat exchanger. Trying some JB weld for now and will see if it will hold up for the week until they get back.
